Dec 3, 2008 ... Racoons do occasionally attack people, especially rabid ones

Like any animal that feels cornered they will attack. But if you enjoy them from afar they won't actually go out of their way to bite you.  They are more scared of you than you are of them.
Racoons are afraid of no one and no dog or cat.  They are dangerous and will bite.  Keep a bright light on your porch to keep them off.  Put your trash cans in a locked area.  They can climb and open doors, take metal can tops off, roll over trash cans, eat any dropped fruit and will live in a hole in a tree or in your chimney.  One of the books that comes around has a unit that keeps them 50 ft away from your house.  It was pretty reasonable
